I have changed my Compiz profile to enable the cube in unity and I'm worried about using anything beyond the basic cube. I have not found any information about using 3d windows or other cube effects , so I was wondering if anyone was doing this with Unity ?
I use the cube as mainly a workspace switcher but it would be nice to know how to enable the other effects without breakage , a guide would be nice and I realize Unity in 11.04 is new so it may take time before a guide/ work arounds will be posted.
Back in the old days of PC-DOS 3.1, computers are much simpler than today's. I can learn a lot of how File System works with tools like PCTools, Norton Disk Doctor, and [URL]. Have been working exclusive in corporate database application area for over a decade, my knowledge of how these stuff work is diminishing. Standard-clean OS (Windows, Linux) installation is all I can do now. And it starts to cause me many data-loss troubles, when I have to perform something that I don't have much insight, such as install and remove peer linux os or move and resize partitions.
I'm looking for books, web resources, or communities where I can educate myself on how various file system works, for which I can have in-depth answer to questions such as:
How to remove ubuntu and grub2 ? (I recently did that, but with a lot of frustration when I was not really sure what I was doing and confront with some scary error message like "Missing BootMgr" What kind of disk-partitioning operation can be performed non-destructively, and why ? What is Active partition ? Primary Parition ? Extended Partition ? How it stored on the disk. There are many free partitioning tools out there, which one is safe to used ? NTFS, Ext3, Ext4, .. What the differences ? How to choose it wisely.
I am using virtualbox to run windows xp.is there a way to access the harddisk occupied by linux and copy the information to the virtual memory in windows xp
I'm trying to write a program which would get information from a webpage and display the information on my desktop sort of like a widget. I kind of remember there being something like this already made, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's calledDoes anyone know?
How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?
I have a dual-boot windows and Suse linux 11.1 setup. I can save and restore a linux image. Trying to save an image of Windows results in Partimage freezing at the "NTFS Information" window before the "save partition to image file." I have two SystemRescue CDs of versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 I have two computers one with Windows 2000 and one with Windows XP I have defragmented the partitions several times over. Users are told that use with "NTFS is experimantal". Several up-beat webpage tutorials also mention this but go on to say how marvellous it works for them. Naturally, such sites do not mention problems. This is the province of the forums. I have found nothing that relates to my problem though. Hence my post appealing for any guidance on offer.
I'm wondering why I'm getting different information about my cpu from different sources within Ubuntu? Is it giving different units of measure or something? But both say MHz.
Code: :~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor: 0 vendor_id: AuthenticAMD cpu family: 15 model: 36 model name: AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 .....
I recently come across some bug reporting things. I know what is bug but don't know how to use bug information that i got . can anybody explain it for me .
Question? Where can I find information about copyright? A real state agent took one of my pictures from facebook to use it for his bussiness. He charges 2.5% for marketing.
I'm trying to switch over my old server(9.10) data to a different server(10.04). My old server only had 2 drive bays, whereas my new one has 4. I already have my new server up and running(for the most part), and want to add the old hard drive to it. How would I do this without losing any information. I believe even my old drive is formatted to ext4. I was going to just throw it in there, but I'm afraid of losing information as I really don't want to lose a 1tb of info. I did try to search, but my title had too many common words in it.
I am running a cli only based laptop for a special project; however, is there any terminal based simple text or GUI applications that will give me power remaining and other information about the battery? Looking for: power remaining, total power, WATTS, AMPS, etc.just the basic items and some other items, nothing to fancy.
I have followed the guide here on the forums, and still can't get much to show up when running "sensors" from within terminal.This is all that will show up when I run 'sensors' in terminal:This has me puzzled, as I followed the guide exactly as it was stated, and I can't get everything working. Is my hardware too new or something?
I am trying to write a shell script which will give remote system version and list of installed applications and their versions as output. In this case remote system is windows xp and I have ip address, username and password of that machine.

I know that you can add data to disks already holding informationusing apps for windows without blanking the entire disk first. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to accomplish this with BraseroDisk Burner. Am I overlooking something, or do you have to use acompletely different application in order to do this in Ubuntu?
I readded all my sources and ppa's on the upgrade but now they are disabled? Also I have a malformed line..Why would they be disabled if I changed them all one by one through software sources?
Error: Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.'
I am willing to learn. I purchased and am currently reading The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and I think I have found my first side project. First, the book said Ubuntu Server is pretty much coded with a scripting language called Python. I want to define the different init levels of my server. I want to define like init 5 to have a GUI interface, just for kicks. A GUI might come in handy when doing certain things in Ubuntu Server, I just don't know, simply because I've been working on the command line. So my first question is, do I need to learn Python to script in Ubuntu Server? I have very little experience coding let alone scripting. The book has example of Upstart scripts, but I was wondering if the language is Python?
So I guess my question is a general question to scripting If I were to focus my time in learning Python as well, would I be able to customize/utilize more of Ubuntu Server? I'm not exactly sure what to learn/read as well to this. I'm trying to broaden my horizons, and I've decided to experiment with Ubuntu Server.
